My kayak is very bad tracking. I can tell you one thing that works and this retractable skeg in the picture that everyone says will work. I have revised the CLC plans. It is extra high right now but will be cut down after I insert it in my boat. I used 1/8" plastic window pane glass for the skeg, sandwiched between Luan plywood that is epoxy coated. This is one idea.

Was the seat moved left/right by accident? *NM*
